dog-napped !!

What type of world do we live in when you can't even let your dog out in the backyard for a few minutes without some crazy ass neighbor stealing him???!!!!

TRUE STORY: Taz was let out for not even 10 minutes before we noticed someone had opened up the back gate and let him out. Curiously enough: there was a half-eaten piece of polish sausage near the open gate. We KNEW both the gate was closed and that polish sausage was not there when we let him out just minutes before. After frantically searching for him in the alley, calling out his name, etc, some kids playing basketball at a garage a few houses down told us that a polish man who lives nearby came by and TOOK Taz. THE BALLS OF THAT MAN! Luring my dog with food to his house!!! Sure enough, when we knocked on the back door of the house in question, we saw Taz happy as a lark soaking up the attention of a polish family who couldn't even look us in the eyes. When confronted, the man who STOLE my dog pretended not to know English, only saying how friendly Taz was. We should have called the cops on him, but instead left him with a warning that if he comes near our yard or near our dog again, we would have him arrested. I mean, c'mon, if this was a kid in question he would be kidnapping! The man was lucky he was old, because my boyfriend was so upset he could have killed him.

All this happened and Taz had no idea how close he came to being stolen and never seeing me or Mike ever again. He was just happy to get attention and human food. I'm pist and just plain terrified that this could have even happened right in my own backyard! I still have no idea why the guy took him, cuz after a while I'm sure we would have noticed our dog in someone else's backyard. One theory was he was planning on selling him, or worse yet cooking him up in some kind of polish delicacy (do polish people even eat dog?). Either way, it was a close call and I am so thankful my pooch is safely at home. Needless to say, we are installing a locking feature on our gate to ensure this type of thing doesn't happen again.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THE CAJONES OF THAT OLD MAN!!! URGGGHHHH....

" LUKE...i am your father...."

Me & my bf recently attended a child's birthday party (one of his friends kid's turned 3 years old). Of course, the whole theme of the party was Star Wars (surprise surprise because the father is an avid Star Wars figurine collector). There, we scored this cool ass Darth Vader mask, which we took turns wearing driving home (man you should have seen some of the stares we got!).

Below is my cute dog sporting it:

no dogs were injured in the taking of this picture!!

just dog eared thoughts...

My dog is such a character.

He's like a vacuum while I cook, eat or drink anything in the house. He patiently stands by and hopes (no prays) for a morsel to fall unto the floor. When they do, he pounces on it.

Like me, he also has his happy dance that he performs whenever he is so happy he can't believe his eyes. Like, when he gets a new toy or treat, he dances around it for about 30 seconds before he allows himself to enjoy it...

mi gordito...

my little gordito...ain't he cute?

Everyone who knows me, knows I LOVE ANIMALS...especailly dogs. BUT, Because of a deprived childhood, I have never had the joy of owning one. Therefore, I plan on adopting one as soon as I move into my house. LOoking around, I found a cutie named Gordo (meaning 'chubby' in spanish). Just one look into his eyes and my heart went soft. This weekend, if and when I close, I am going to visit and adopt this hybrid chow chow named Gordo. He's about 12 weeks old and already potty trained. Plus, just like me, he got some junk in the trunk!!! Ain't he just the cutest?

look at the ba dunk-a-dunk on that puppy :O
